Backup Software Question

Is our backup tape drives are "Archive Python", what exactly does that mean?

Will regular tape drive backup sofware work? I'm quite confused.

I'm currently looking for a new sotware solution. *pulls out hair*

 

We are currently using Veritas backup software.
I found out that Archive Python is the name of the drivers, which by searching google, seem to be pretty old. The links for seagate dont' even exist anymore.

If the drivers are working, wouldn't any backup software work?
I got the impression from him that it wouldn't but I'm thinking otherwise.

 

No. Of course not! lol

The software we're using is messing up. It won't let us set the option to format the tape automatically and write over it. That's the biggest problem.

We just need a good backup software "solution".
